Project summary
We have enjoyed a long association with Ridings shopping Centre and were recently awarded the contract to replace the balustrade in the centre’s car park.
Client:
Ridings Shopping Centre
Completion:
Summer 2018
Location:
Wakefield
Services:
Stairwell Construction
Works carried out
We were instructed by Saville’s on behalf of the Ridings shopping centre to upgrade the existing staircase in the multi storey car park. Over time the stair cases balustrade, which was of timber construction, had become worn and in some places rotten which was both unsafe and unsightly. The project entailed removing the exiting balustrade and replacing it with a steel version. We organised the manufacture of the new balustrade in accordance with the client’s drawings.
Once a scaffolding pavement license was obtained from Wakefield council, our in house scaffolding division erected the scaffold over 5 storeys and the installation of the balustrade was completed by our construction teams. It was imperative that the busy carpark remained open during the construction period and the safety of the public was a priority. The work was completed within the timescales set by the client and the result was a more robust safer balustrade which was in keeping with the style of the car park.
We also work closely with the centres management team, offering an emergency call out service and carrying out general maintenance within the centre, including shop refurbishments, roof repairs, plumbing projects, painting and decorating and installing safety signage throughout the centre.
